COLUMBIA, s. c., May 23.-Several towns
anu villages In the eastern part OF the state
are suffering from q veritable plague Of cater
pillars. Trees, bushes and shrubbery are
loaded down and fences and houses covered
with them. The insects are Of a different
kind from those which usually appear at this
time OF the year, being much larger and more
voracious, and they are doing great damage
10 trees and sbrubbery. The people are max
ing diligent efforts to destroy the pests by
means Of torches and other agencies, but
their Efforts so far seem to be In vain. The
rails for several miles on the trestle Of the
Atlantic Coast Line over the Great Pedee
swamp are so thickly covered with catcrpil-
lars as to impede the progress OF trains, it
being necessary for the train men to sweep
them of the rails with brooms.
